Item Description: Translate description
A trio of Legion of Merit Medals: Chief Commander, Commander and Officer in cases. These examples are not commonly seen. The Legion of Merit (LOM) is given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. Issued to members of the eight uniformed services of the United States, as well as to military and political figures of foreign governments. 1) The LOM Chief Commander was awarded to Heads of State or government. This was also awarded by FDR to some Allied WWII theater commanders for joint amphibious landings or invasions. Case measures 4.25”x7”x1.5”. Very good condition. See photos. 2)The LOM Commander degree is one of only two United States military decorations to be issued as a neck order (the other being the Medal of Honor), and the only United States military decoration that may be issued in degrees (much like an order of chivalry or certain orders of merit). Some corrosion on the upper left quadrant of medal. Case measures 4.25”x7”x1.5” See photos. 3) The LOM Officer degree is awarded to a General or flag officer below the equivalent of a U.S. military chief of staff; colonel or equivalent for service in assignments equivalent to those normally held by a general or flag officer in U.S. military service; or military attachés. Case measures 4.25”x7”x1”. See photos. Although each of the medals is missing the smaller ribbons and lapel buttons, this pieces that are here are the ones people want to see.
